 Boston Datacenters: NightMare or Dream? (Bo)
posted Sun November 30th @ 1:22 PM
It was a beautiful summer day in 2004. I got a call from a salesrep at a company called "Boston Datacenters", which was a 16,000 sqft hosting facility in the Boston area. The salesrep did not want to sell me space, but actually was calling to see if I had any interest in investing in the company. I was, to say the least, intrigued. Read More »
 Happy Father's Day To Me (and Other Fathers Out There) (Bo)
posted Sun June 15th @ 7:58 AM
I just had one of those "moments". You know, those moments when in a mere instant you take a look at your life and reflect. And honestly, I could not be happier. You know you are living well when your wife asks you, "what do you want to do on your special day?" and the answer, after some good thought, is pretty much what you do every other day of your life.

 Doing the Right Thing For the Wrong Reason (Bo)
posted Sat April 12th @ 8:09 AM
I live in a very affluent town where once a year we have an auction for our PTA (Parent-Teacher Association). This event is held at a local country club, where attendees don their fanciest threads, call their babysitters, and make a night on the town out of it. The event is always a huge success and raises a significant amount of money for a good cause. So what's the problem? Read More »
 The Cure For Cancer (Bo)
posted Sun March 30th @ 7:10 PM
Not too long ago I had one of those dreams... you know the extremely vivid ones that even when you wake up your mind has a hard time determining if what you dreamt about really happened. The dream was about the cure for cancer -- I was given "the secret". Read More »
 Guerilla Marketing: A Case Study (Bo)
posted Wed February 27th @ 7:29 AM
In 1995, I started a webhosting company called “Adgrafix” with nothing more than a few hundred dollars and an elementary understanding of computers and the Internet. In 2001, I sold that company for 20 million dollars. In 2002, I started another webhosting company. This time, I had virtually unlimited funds, in-depth knowledge of computers and the Internet, and an ego the size of Manhattan. In 2004, after two years of doing everything I thought was right, the company was practically worthless. Times changed, but my thinking did not. I realized that in the current marketplace, to succeed and succeed big, it takes unconventional ways of using creativity, imagination, and energy to achieve maximum profits with minimum money, or it takes guerilla marketing.

Every New Years, for the last 10 years, my wife and I create a "list" over dinner. This list is divided in three parts: 1) predictions 2) goals 3) resolutions. We look forward to "list day" all year. Read More »
 The Secret of "The Secret" (Bo)
posted Wed December 5th @ 5:07 AM
My sister gave me an early Christmas gift this Thanksgiving; it was the DVD version of "The Secret". I am, and always have been, a self-help junkie so I was thankful for her thoughtful gift and was looking forward to watching the video. I did take me a couple of weeks to watch it -- movies like "I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry" and "Live Free or Die Hard" took precedence. Read More »
 Our New Office - Change is Good! (Bo)
posted Sat December 1st @ 1:49 PM
About a year ago, I went on a quest to find office space for my new company, iGrOOps. At the time, it was only my partner Ryan and myself. I looked at a few spaces and we settled on a 2300sqft office in a large industrial park -- the same building as Monster.com headquarters. Our one year lease is up April 1, 2008, but I can't wait to leave. Read More »
